INTERNET-CAPABLE CAMERA

NEW KODAK CAMERA SOLVES STORAGE DILEMMA

YOU'RE ON vacation and just shot the final image that will fit on your flash memory card. Now what? With the new Kodak EasyShare One, the next stop could be an Internet café, where the camera's optional wireless networking capability will allow you to upload images directly to a Kodak Web site for later retrieval or e-mail photos to yourself or a friend. The first-ever Wi-Fi camera, the EasyShare One has a bright 4-megapixel CCD sensor, a 3X optical zoom, a 3-in., fully articulated LCD monitor with touch-pad capability, 256 MB of onboard memory and an SD slot for additional storage.

The camera will be available in mid 2005. It is expected to cost $599 without the optional Wi-Fi adapter. Contact Kodak at www.kodak.com/go/EasyShare.

ON-THE-GO AIR

DC AIR COMPRESSORS BRING AIR TO THE FIELD

OASIS MANUFACTURING claims that its XD2000 12v/24v DC Air Compressor is the most powerful DC compressor on the market today. The compressor's modified 5-hp motor is directly coupled to a twin-cylinder, 10-cu.-in. York compressor. It includes a low voltage cutoff protection circuit, which allows high performance without overloading the electric motor. It also uses a cooling fan to dramatically extend run time by reducing heat buildup. It's able to run a ½-in. impact wrench directly off the compressor and can be paired with a storage tank to boost capacity.

ADJUSTABLE HIDE-AWAY HITCH

RECEIVER HITCH LEVELS LOADS FOR SAFER TRAILERING

THE TOW & STOW receiver hitch keeps the hitch out of the way until it's needed. But when rotated into place, its 5.5 in. of vertical travel and multiple balls allow it to handle varying trailering needs safely and efficiently.

The hitch is rotated into place from beneath the vehicle by pulling and replacing a pin, which also provides vertical adjustment in 1-in. increments. Pulling and replacing a pin also allows different balls to be rotated into place.

NEW ROLL-UP

‘SNAP-COVER’ PRICE MAKES ROLL-UP AFFORDABLE

TRUXPORT, a soft, roll-up tonneau cover, is the newest addition to the TruXedo family of tonneau covers from Shur-Co. It provides an economical alternative to snap-style and zip strip-style covers in a roll-up design. The rear cross member and bows roll up with the cover in less than 30 seconds. The complete cover self-stores at the front of the bed, with no parts to remove. Adjustable tension control keeps fabric tight in any climate. A positive latching mechanism provides added security.

It is available for most pickup models. The suggested retail price is $288. Contact Shur-Co., Dept. FIN, Box 713, Yankton, SD 57078, 877/878-9336, visit www.truxport.com or www.freeproductinfo.net/fin, or circle 197.
